I found a random USB drive on the ground a little bit ago. I

just fill it with zeroes

Put tremendous amount of furry porn on it and return it somewhere telling them you found it at that corner.

If it's just a plain USB drive then a reformat is enough.

How cheap can you be? Those things only cost a few bucks.

>Get a live CD of Linux
>Unplug internet cable from computer
>Boot live CD

dd bs=4M if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX  #Replace X with your USB stick letter

Now usb stick is safe to use again

What does that have to do with anything, shit for brains?

>>59136805
Do a full secure format on a spare computer until ever using on your main computer.

>I know the huge security risk
Boot a live system and check it out. unplug your hard drive if you are paranoid.
is this the neo /g/ I am hearing about?

Give it back Jamal

It's best to also pull out the SATA data cables from all of the HDDs and SSDs, and remove any M.2 cards.

I personally would just use a Raspberry Pi, and then wipe the SD card when done.

>>59136805
at least put the contents on an online repo for the person to collect

but really, what can a flash drive even do with autoplay completely disabled?

>>59137158

>>59136805
Return it to him

>>59136805
Diskpart should work. If you're really paranoid, write some data to it, like some movies or other large files, and then reformat it again.

But that's all assuming it's a normal USB flash drive and not something like >>59137189

>>59136805

They can be compromised on the controller chip, the accessible memory can look completely clear but the drive still won't be safe.

The look on my face when I found a four gig flash drive that belonged to a Jamal. I emailed everything on it to him via an anonymous emailer and set up a bootable toolkit on it.
